Blueray Hypersonic January 8, 2012 Share January 8, 2012 Title : Track fault causes delay on East-West Line By : Date : 08 January 2012 1304 hrs (SST) URL : http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1175448/1/.html SINGAPORE: Train services on the Circle Line between Marymount and Botanic Gardens were disrupted Sunday afternoon due to a signalling fault. SMRT said on its Twitter site at about 3.00 pm that service was back to normal. A commuter told Channel NewsAsia that he was at Serangoon station when he heard an announcement that there would be "no train service" between Marymount and Farrer Road stations. He said he understands that commuters had to get off at Marymount station because the train could not proceed to Farrer Road station. He said commuters were advised to find alternative transport. Separately, train services on the East-West Line between Boon Lay and Joo Koon were also delayed Sunday afternoon due to a track fault. At about 2.00 pm, SMRT said the track fault had cleared and services on all lines were operating normally but urged commuters to allow extra time for travel due to wet tracks. SMRT told Channel NewsAsia that the problem started at about 12.30 pm on Sunday. At about 1.00 pm, SMRT said east-bound and west-bound services between Boon Lay and Joo Koon were slightly delayed due to a track fault. Some commuters were asked to alight from one of the trains at Lakeside station as a precaution. Commuters had to wait an extra two minutes for the trains. Callers to the Channel NewsAsia reported similar delays. One commuter, Stanley, said he was at City Hall station when he heard the announcement at about 12.40 pm of a delay in service. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1175448/1/.html ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bystander50 5th Gear January 8, 2012 Share January 8, 2012 when the public asked her to resign, she herself said if she were to resign it would be very irresponsible ..... u never read? So end up she was indeed very irresponsible judging from her very own words. Her responsibilities for the major train breakdown doesn't even end if she did not resign. Reason being - the causes of breakdowns (engineering / mechanical failures) does not happen overnight, but over the years under her watch as CEO. As CEO, she failed to detect or address the problem. Both ways she has no way out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic January 8, 2012 Share January 8, 2012 Siao liao lah. With trains becoming more & more unreliable where can the ppl of sgp turn to?

Both ways she has no way out. But I thought circle line is relatively newer then East-West line etc ... so does that mean besides cutting cost on maintenance, they also cut cost on buying new trains or material for the rail?
